Lorikeets in the Callistemon...

Hey there. It's Adam Frisch.

After the 2022 election, I had a hard decision to make.

When I ran against Lauren Boebert last year, I knew we could win. No one believed me -- not the Democratic party, the Republican party, or any of the political pundits.

But after the recount, I lost to Lauren Boebert by just 546 votes. It was the closest race in the entire country.

We were outspent heavily by Boebert and her allies. And the attacks and vicious lies they told about me were really hard on my family -- especially my two teenage kids.

After we came so close to winning, everyone expected me to run against Boebert again in 2024. It seemed like a no-brainer. But it wasn't an easy decision to put my family through what I knew was going to be an even nastier race than the last.

I spent a lot of time reaching out to supporters like you, and everyone promised me: They'd have my back. So I took a leap of faith.

Now, Boebert's Super PACs are attacking me, and the smear campaign is beginning. I need your help if I'm going to win.

I made the decision to run again because I knew I could count on people like you to help me take on Boebert, so it would mean so much to me if you could chip in to my campaign today:

Please, will you give $10 or more right now -- whatever you can afford -- to help me defeat Lauren Boebert? We can kick Boebert out of Congress, but I need your help now to do it. https://go.adamforcolorado.com/10242

I'm not taking money from corporate PACs. I don't have the national party throwing millions of dollars behind my race. What I have is something far stronger: You.

With gratitude -
Adam
